Laowa 100mm f2.8 CA-Dreamer Macro 2x Canon RF Lens delivers 2x magnification, sharp detail, and creative versatility—shop now on GearFocus.

Distinguished by its macro shooting proficiency and apochromatic optical design, the Canon EF-mount Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens by Venus Optics is distinctively capable and multifaceted. It integrates a pair of low dispersion elements that effectively reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for elevated sharpness and accurate color fidelity. The manual focus design complements its macro capability, achieving exceptional detail at 2:1 magnification with a minimal focus distance of 9.7 inches. Additionally, the lens is designed with a 9-blade diaphragm to enhance your images with smooth background blur.

The Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro lens is a high-performance macro lens designed for capturing intricate details with exceptional clarity. Featuring a 2:1 maximum magnification ratio, this lens is ideal for macro photography, product shots, and detailed nature captures.

The Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro is a **prime** telephoto lens with a **full-frame** image circle, designed specifically for **macro** photography. With a fixed **100mm** focal length and a maximum aperture of **f/2.8**, it delivers a consistent perspective well suited to close-up subjects that benefit from background separation. The lens operates entirely via **manual focus**, putting full control in the photographer's hands — a deliberate design choice that suits the careful, precise nature of macro work. It is offered in **Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Pentax K** mounts, giving photographers across multiple camera systems access to this optic. A **67mm** filter thread makes it compatible with a wide variety of screw-in filters. Weighing **638g**, it is a solidly built lens with the heft expected of a dedicated macro prime. **Image stabilization is not included**, so a tripod or stable platform is recommended when shooting at close focus distances where camera movement is most noticeable.

Captures subjects at twice life-size on the sensor, going well beyond the 1:1 limit of conventional macro lenses for extreme close-up detail.

2:1 Maximum Magnification

Provides a comfortable working distance from the subject, reducing the risk of disturbing insects or small subjects during shooting.

100mm Telephoto Focal Length

Wide for a macro telephoto prime, allowing meaningful background separation and better light gathering when stopping down for depth of field.

f/2.8 Maximum Aperture

Designed for full-frame sensors but fully usable on APS-C and crop-sensor bodies within the same mount systems.

Full-Frame Coverage

Dedicated manual focus ring gives photographers precise, deliberate control over focus placement — well suited to the fine tolerances of macro work.

Manual Focus Only

Available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Pentax K mounts, covering a broad range of DSLR and mirrorless camera systems.

Four Mount Options

Standard filter size compatible with a wide range of screw-in filters, useful for polarizers and ND filters in macro shooting scenarios.

67mm Filter Thread

This version of the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X does not include an apodization element — that feature is exclusive to the separate APO version of this lens.

No Apodization Element

Substantial weight reflects the optical complexity of the design and contributes to a sturdy, well-damped feel during tripod-based macro work.
